None of them (except as noted) can shoot in B&W, since they only have colored sensors. I, personally, have not been happy with digital B&W output, and find scanning film gives me far better tonality, and I like the look of film better than digital anyway ;-) Austin > Hello All, > > I suppose this is an ignorant question, but since I know little about > digital, here goes: Is there a setting on higher end digital cameras (the > new Leica/Panasonic in particular) that lets you shoot in black and white? > Or do they all shoot in color and you then go greyscale in > photoshop?
